Here's a fun version of this: end-to-end development of a vaccine costs about $3-4B (assuming no incremental benefits in platform tech!). OpenAI's last cap raise came out to $40B. So, for the cost of non-consenually seeing Jason Momoa plow Marilyn Monroe, you could instead fully cure ten diseases.

i feel like i could make 20 aubrey-maturin adaptations with that disney 360 degree set and a handful of live actors for the cost of what openAI spends each day generating videos of MLK appearing on joe rogan

The “ghost” convincing Hamlet to kill Claudius is a psyop by Gertrude to remove the two men in the way of her line to consolidate power.

Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

you have a right to be angry

Drawing of Little My, a small girl in a red dress, sliding down a hill. She is drawn by Tove Jansson from the Moomin series. The text reads: "WHEN you're angry, then you're angry," thought Little My, peeling her potato with her teeth. "Sometimes you have to be angry. Every little creature has the right to get angry."

It's striking that even in the defenses of Bari Weiss's broader thing no one ever says that she or her website does good work. Even the people that admire the success she's had selling lite reactionary shit to rich old guys top out at "people do seem to like it." You could defend Jake Paul that way.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
